Re: Fish Focus - Purple Sand Tilefish

Quote:
What kind of light did you use to get those brilliant colors?
These photos were taken at the LFS. They were in two different tanks but both thanks only had dual florescent lighting, one actinic and one 6700K daylight bulb.

The fish themselves have some very nice camera friendly colouration so it's not hard to get good photos of them.

Thanks for your input, it's always great to hear from people who have actually kept them rather then just reading what the books/general sites have to say about them. I have read that they are extremely timid fish and that they die prematurely because of it. It's too bad because I really do like the look of them.

I've also noticed that there isn't very much good/specific information about them online. I suspect this is because they are so difficult to keep alive for long periods of time.
